HDI is calculated.
Overall life satisfaction: Average response to the
Gallup World Poll Question: Please imagine a ladder, with
steps numbered from zero at the bottom to ten at the top.
Suppose we say that the top of the ladder represents the
best possible life for you, and the bottom of the ladder
represents the worst possible life for you. On which
step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you
stand at this time, assuming that the higher the step the
better you feel about your life, and the lower the step the
worse you feel about it Which step comes closest to the
way you feel
